Black Rock Editions | Zane Bennett Contemporary Art

Black Rock Editions

Black Rock Editions is a two-year-old Santa Fe print house, but its roots stretch back fifty years and across the nation. This special print showcase celebrates Black Rock’s founding, and explores its intersectional vision for the future of printmaking.
History

Though they established Black Rock Editions in January 2020 just before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Director Christina Ziegler Campbell and Master Printer Steve Campbell started with a solid foundation. They’re veteran employees of Landfall Press, a 50-year-old print shop that was founded by Jack Lemon in Chicago and moved to Santa Fe in 2004. When Lemon generously gifted Landfall’s space and equipment to the Campbells, they shifted their focus to include up-and-coming artists from communities that have often been ignored by other print houses and the larger contemporary art establishment.

Magic Hand

"Magic Hand is a portrait of this uncertain time in our lives. I wanted to draw hands that have both sides of good and evil: hands that touch, fix, cure, express, fight, and pray. I used various symbolic imagery, including the "powerful hand" and the milagros charms to represent peoples' beliefs and their cultures in this confusing time." -JM

Pueb Fiction

"This piece is a meant to be playful social commentary that allows viewers to imagine Native peoples included in conversations of mainstream culture, countering stereotypes and preconceived notions of Native peoples. Our vision and intimate relationship to our communities are precisely what make Native artists the people best equipped to convey the allure, strength, and complexity of contemporary Native life." -DR

The Watchers

"Human emotions are as universal as the ideals of beauty. The need to love and be loved is strongest of all. I return to [this theme] repeatedly, recalling characters from literature or opera. My invented portraits are nearly all solitary and often are of children. They are haunted by a solitude experienced by those who find themselves strangers in a strange land, simultaneously longing to escape and connect." -FR
